IBM Datacap, Version 8.1            

Electronic document input (virtual scanning)

If your application is processing documents that are already available in electronic format, you can use virtual scanning to input the documents.

Taskmaster can manage a wide range of document types, including PDF files, fax files, and Microsoft Office documents. In addition, Taskmaster can ingest documents from various sources, including email and fax.

To scan image files from a shared folder on a network, or from a local folder, configure your application to use VScan actions. For details about VScan actions, see the Datacap Studio online help for the VScan action library.

The Datacap Studio application wizard generates an application framework that includes a virtual scanning task that copies files from the specified folder to the runtime batch folder. The virtual scan action is useful for application development and testing.

The Scan action copies the documents to the target location, and maintains the original files in the images folder.
